- I am very confused on this question and how to solve it please help. Blue whales are an endangered species due to harpooning and hunting that began in 1900. Up until the1960s it is estimated that 99% of the blue whale population was killed. Since then, whale harpooning hasbecome illegal in most countries. Because of this, numbers have started to rise again.In 1979, 700 whales were reported off the coast of California. In 1996, 2580 whales were reported off thecoast of California. The Law of Uninhibited Growth applies to this situation. Using the above data, find afunction of the form N(t) = N0e^kt which models the number of whales t years after 1979. (Use t = 0 to represent the year 1979.)arrow_forwardThe timber harvests in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska have decaysed exponentially from 471 million board feet in 1990 to 48 million board feet in 2003.

- Intel co-founder Gordon Moore noticed that the number of transistors on integrated circuits had doubled approximately every two years since their invention. Moore's "law" predicted that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future. The Intel 4004 chip had 2,300 transistors in 1971. How many transistors should be possible in 2019?

ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over time…arrow_forwardIn this same passage about Golfing, please answer the last few questions carefully.arrow_forward
- . In 2010, of a total of 67,000 rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Entertainment managed 22,880, while MGM Resorts managed over 12,000. However, owing to the Great Recession and new hotel openings, between 2008 and 2010, MGM's hotel occupancy decreased from 92% to 89%, while its average daily room rate fell from $148 to $108. Meanwhile, CityCenter, managed by MGM Resorts, and the Cosmopolitan opened with 4,000 and 3,000 rooms respectively, and the 1,720-room Sahara closed. (Sources: Caesars Entertainment Corp., Annual Report 2010; MGM Resorts, Annual Report 2010; "Sahara's closure on May 16 will mark `the end of an era'," Las Vegas Sun, March 11, 2011.) (a) Using a suitable figure, explain how the opening of CityCenter and the Cosmopolitan affects the residual demand for an existing hotel and how it should adjust prices. (b) If MGM Resorts had not reduced its room rates, what would have been the effect on occupancy?
